New Season...

So, this week has been a little hectic. There's been a lot of schoolwork to catch up on and it's caused me to really seek after God more. I've been struggling to be more intentional in my quiet times outside of morning prayer and read my Bible more often. Yet, time and time again, I stare wistfully at my Bible resting in my backpack and just head off to my next class. Rinse and repeat. Yet, today felt... different. I felt as though a victory was coming and that the battle was finally over. I remembered words that had been spoken over me a few months ago about my identity in Christ. I remembered being told that I was free, loved, and understood. Those words just resonated with me today as I sat quietly at my desk. This whole week wasn't a failure, it was a season. A season of stress but also of perseverance and community. Never had I felt more at peace than at that moment of clarity. I felt free from the chains that tried to weigh me down with performance-anxiety and uncertainty. Do I know what I'm doing tomorrow? No. Do I know what I'm doing after I graduate? No. Instead, I was simply reminded to return to my identity in Christ as a child of God. I don't need to have all the answers when I have found the One who IS the answer. Amen.
